About

I think it's brave to share your uniqueness in a world that does not or can not understand the beauty that comes from that.

It's important to remember to remain loyal to everything that makes you stand out so that others feel safe to stand out too.

Be an encourager, an enabler, a story of heroism, not defeat. Stand alone if you have to but stand, and don't let the ugliness of this world change the way your heart was created and intended to be.

It changes the world, one person at a time, being honest, unique, and authentic. It's a gift very few have and that's why we are the rare ones.

"Be You Bravely!"

The Queen Who Rose Whole Isaiah 62:3 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

She did not become a Queen because life was gentle with her. She became a Queen because it was not. She was shaped in places where love was inconsistent, where safety had to be learned rather than given, where childhood required strength before softness. She learned early how to survive—and later, how to heal. She walked through seasons of misplaced love, not because she lacked value, but because she was searching for closeness in spaces that reflected her unhealed wounds. Sh

She Became the Safety Matthew 6:9-13 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

I became the woman I needed as a child. Not all at once. Not perfectly. But deliberately. I became the mother who listens without rushing. The friend who stays. The safety that does not disappear when emotions grow loud or inconvenient. The arms that do not withdraw when tears come unannounced. I became her. The little girl inside me learned early how to be quiet, how to be strong, how to be “good.” She learned how to read rooms instead of being read herself. She learned how

She Was Still Beautiful, Matthew 19:14 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

She was still beautiful in her wounds, in the grief that hollowed her chest, in the sadness that clung to her like a second skin. In the tears she cried privately, asking God questions she didn’t yet believe had answers. She was still beautiful in her anger—the fire that rose when her voice had been ignored too long. In her sharp edges, her defensiveness, her walls built brick by brick out of disappointment and betrayal. She was still beautiful even when her hands reached for

A Life Led by God - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

I have learned that love is not loud. It does not demand to be seen or praised. It waits. It listens. It stays when leaving would be easier. I love now not to be chosen, but because I already am—chosen by God, taught by Him how to be patient, how to be kind, how to love without keeping score in a world that often mistakes performance for devotion. Faith has taught me how to walk before the ground appears. I move forward without needing certainty, placing my steps into the

Thank You & Amen - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

There was a time when I believed my love life followed a pattern I could not escape. That was what I had known was what I would continue to know. That the endings, the lessons, the ache, and the longing were evidence of something fixed—a story already written. But God has been teaching me something different. My past does not get to decide my future. It only gets to inform it. And even that wisdom, I now see, was never wasted in God’s hands. Every love I have known—every conn

Trust Proverbs 3:5–6 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Trust taught me how to loosen my grip. I no longer need to know how everything unfolds. I place my plans, my relationships, my future into God’s hands. I follow where He leads, even when the way feels unfinished. I trust Him with what I cannot control. This is how I live now—open-handed,steady-hearted—knowing that God directs my steps far more faithfully than I ever could. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to

Strength Isaiah 40:31 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

My strength does not come from pushing harder. It comes from resting deeper. When I am weary, I lean into God. When I am overwhelmed, I pray. I rise again not because I force myself to, but because He renews me. This is strength—soft enough to rest, firm enough to endure, anchored not in willpower, but in grace. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isa

Purity of Heart Matthew 5:8 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Purity is not perfection—it is alignment. I guard my heart because God lives there. I choose what brings clarity, what protects peace, what honours Him. I walk away from what dims my spirit. I say no, so my yes can remain holy. This is how I show up—intentional, clear, devoted—believing that a heart kept for God sees Him more clearly in everything. Purity is not perfection—it is alignment. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Matthew 5:8 Lord, cleanse my hear

Service Mark 10:45 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

I learned from Jesus that greatness kneels. So I serve quietly, without needing recognition, without counting the cost aloud. I give where God leads me, not where it empties me. I love through action, through presence, through consistency. Service is sacred when it flows from obedience, not exhaustion—and I show up to lift others because love, when real, always moves outward. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for

Patience Psalm 27:14 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Waiting taught me that God is never late. Only careful. Only kind. I no longer rush what He is preparing. I no longer fear the silence. I let the waiting do its quiet work in me. I wait with hope, not anxiety. With trust, not desperation. This is how I show up—rooted, refined, becoming someone who can hold the blessing when it arrives without breaking beneath it. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Lord, teach me to wait with grace a

Forgiveness Matthew 18:21-22 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Forgiveness was not given to me because it was easy, but because I was never meant to carry bitterness as a companion. I release what wounded me, not to excuse it, but to free myself from its weight. I place justice back into God’s hands, where it belongs. I choose peace even when memory lingers. Forgiveness has softened me—not weakened me—allowing love to flow again where pain once built walls. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brot

Humility Micah 6:8 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Humility has taught me how to walk without proving, to exist without explaining, to trust God to defend what He ordained. I no longer strive to be seen. I let my life speak where my voice once tried. I walk gently—not smaller, but surrendered—knowing that what is meant for me does not require force. This is my offering: a quiet obedience, a steady heart, a life that leaves room for God’s glory to be seen instead of mine. He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does

Wisdom Proverbs 31:10-31 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Wisdom does not raise its voice. It listens first. It watches. It waits. I have learned that strength does not need to announce itself, and discernment often speaks in restraint. I choose my words carefully, not to withhold truth, but to honour it. I choose timing over urgency, depth over reaction. This is how I show up—not hurried, not careless, but led by God, whose wisdom teaches me that silence can be holy and patience can be power. A wife of noble character who can fi

Faith Hebrews 11:1-3 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

Faith has taught me to move without certainty, to place my foot forward before the path fully forms. I do not wait until everything makes sense. I trust the God who already sees what I cannot. I walk calmly, not because I am fearless, but because my life is not held together by my understanding. Faith shapes my posture—steady, surrendered, eyes lifted—believing that what is unseen is no less real than what stands before me. Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assu

Love 1 Corinthians 13 - Personal blog of Trisha Rapley, Australian Author.

I have learned that love does not rush to be seen. It waits. It listens. It stays when leaving would be easier. Love does not demand proof or keep a record of what it gives. It bends toward kindness, even when misunderstood, even when unseen. I love now not to be chosen, but because I already am—chosen by God, taught by Him how to remain gentle in a world that often rewards hardness. This is how I show up: patient, kind, faithful in small moments—loving not for applause,
